7. Respect other posters. You may not agree with a view but a reply just insulting someone does not foster debate and makes you look foolish.

what is the point of a like button?  Are we trying to create facebook here?

If you agree with something that someone has said, and have something of interest to add to it, type that out.  People just liking posts creates some kind of pointless populatity contest that will end up with Feverish sulking in his room for 2 weeks.

Yeah, not a fan of it either. It will hurt my delicate feelings and lead to insecurities I don't think I can handle.

Also, while I am on the subject it will somehow validate some opinions just because there are enough idiots who agree with it.  Look at the ongoing discussions about needing to get rid of Ricki or Terry - they will end up as petty arguments where people's inane statements (I'm looking at you Doloras) while somehow be given credence because enough people held onto the stupid idea that any kind of change was going to be a disaster.

It could also have the opposite effect. Those who tend to dominate the discussion, may not actually get so many 'likes' but a persons post who has a different view, could get a lot more likes. That way you can gauge a little better what people actually think. I think that is somewhat distorted at the moment, and a vocal few tend to be seen as the popular opinion, when in reality that is just because every second post is theirs. 
Not sure if I made that make a whole lot of sense actually...

In that case do we want an 'I disagree with your opinion but that was a well reasoned argument so I salute you, good sir' button?

 

Not a fan of liking etc but possibly the ability for a thread starter being able to select someones post as the answer like geekzone.co.nz does it. Then have a button that allows you to 'View Answer' that way if someone asks a question and someone answers it you don't have to trawl through pages and pages of drivel to find it.

This is BS

No one will 'like' my posts even when they are good.

I am in agreement with Frankie Mac. I'm not in favour of a +1 -1. I prefer the debate or people to just come out and say if an idea is good or shit. It's a forum for voices on football. If we are doing this up vote thing, we basically turn into a YouTube/Facebook/reddit. I do have strong ideas but if someone else makes a reasoned argument, I am open to changing my opinion or having it shaped for the better. +1 -1 does not achieve that.

I think you would see more threads with just 1 post and heaps of +1 -1 as opposed to any comments.

I'd also like to add that the trello board is not a good idea. People know to come here regarding the forum. Creating another location just means you have to split your time across two locations and its not a given that people will look there.

Can one of you bright young things tell me what a trello board is?

I know what a wobble board is but these days that sort of thing is a bit frowned upon.

The only thing I see it stopping is people saying "this" or "+1" Or maybe even some mindless slagging off of others that some of us are prone to, as you'd just click thumbs down and move on instead. If people have something meaningful to say, they'll still say it. 

And yeah with the trello board, its a nice idea in theory, but you can already tell that its not being read by all.

Just want to put it out there that a +1 -1 should be way down on the priority list. Plenty of other things to fix first (Quote, deleting posts, the new page thing, copying and pasting tables)

If it is possible to allow me to have paragraphs when I push the return key. (See i did it then and nothing happened) That would be really cool

Blimey.  That would be annoying as heck.

I like paragraphs too.

Is it your web browser (he said trying to sound all tech-savvy, while Patrick and Welnik were sniggering away in the background)?

I don't know this is an iPad is all I know. If someone could give me step by step instructions I would willingly follow them. Paragraphs would make my postings even more outstanding.

That reminds me. Pasting doesn't work on iPhone. It copies then pastes ok, but when you post, it doesn't show up.

Don't get your hopes up.

Step 1: Throw out iPad
Step 2: .... no, that's it. Nothing else.

Does it work if you press the HTML button at the left [</>] and then paste?

I have to put TWO lines between all of my paras to actually get paras.

And then just one line shows up.

Not the most urgent issue, though I agree about the awesomeness value of paragraphs...

Yeah, there are some weirdnesses with redactor (the formatting plugin we're using). As for iPads - I'll test on mine tonight and see if I can't figure out what's going on. Appreciate you sticking with it despite the lack of paragraphing!

Ok, so perhaps the Trello board is a bit complex. Would you prefer if I just updated the first post in this thread with the stuff we're working on, and y'all can nag me about it in here?
I just wanted a way to easily let you guys know what we're currently working on fixing.
